i have a super island

Chapter 601 Blower

On the sea, ships shuttled back and forth, and the two islands were extremely busy.

At the beginning, the equation really underestimated the mobility of these natives. Unexpectedly, half a day later, the ore transported from the coast has piled up into a hill.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a hill, it is a real stone hill.

Looking at the stone hill in front of him, the equation is even a little unbelievable.

At the beginning, it was just an inspiring slogan to say that the island in the south was going to be hollowed out, but according to this posture, it is really possible to hollow out that island over the years.

Except for the natives who went back and forth between the two islands, some of the rest were busy beating these newly transported ores.

Everyone's work is simpler than that, which is to knock off the green copper attached to the ore, and then collect them together.

"Hu~~"

Lu Fengmei straightened up and stretched.

He has only one hand, and his shoulders and waist are very sore from knocking stones for too long.

Fang Fang said: "Old Lu, don't be brave, go and have a rest."

Lu Fengmei smiled and said, "Why, do you look down on my hand?"

"It's boring, don't think too much about it."

"I know, I'm just kidding." Lu Fengmei stood up, walked towards the furnace, and said, "You guys do the rock-breaking work, I have to add a blower to the furnace now."

"Okay, you go to toss."

Fang Fang shook his head and smiled, and let Lu Fengmei go.

Hearing that he was going to add a blower to the stove, Equation didn't take it too seriously, assuming he was going to rest.

Looking back at Song Zhixi, he saw a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, worried that she was tired, and said with concern: "Why don't you go and rest for a while."

Song Zhixi shook his head and said, "It's okay, this level is nothing."

"You must say that you are tired. I don't want to tire you physically."

"Got it, I'll rest."

The two and other natives continued to knock on the stone.

Lu Fengmei started tinkering alone beside the furnace.

I saw him dig a pit next to the furnace, and then connect the pit with the bottom of the furnace.

Fang Fang saw that Lu Fengmei was doing well, and was attracted by what he did, so he immediately put down his work and came to Lu Fengmei to check.

"Have you really thought of a way?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you." Lu Fengmei had a smug smile on her expression.

Equation asked, "Then what's next?"

Lu Fengmei said: "Next you have to help me."

As he spoke, he gave Equation a wooden stick, and asked Equation to use a dagger to split the wooden stick into a cross.

Fang Fang followed Lu Fengmei's request and split the wooden stick into a cross, and then Lu Fengmei asked Fang Fang to cut two pieces of wood and sandwich them along the cross.

In this way, something like a cross fan is made, and finally the torn bark is used to wrap the opening tightly, and a fixed fan is made.

It is only the first step to make a good fan. The fan blade of the blower is successful, and the next step is the blower.

Lu Fengmei found a piece of wood and placed it in the pit, dug a hole in the wood, and then put the end of the cross fan just now against the hole, which perfectly fixed the blades in it.

After fixing the fan, the last thing is to seal the pit with clay, leaving only the protruding stick outside.

This series of actions looked simple, but it took the two of them a lot of time to do it.

When everything was done, Fang Fang was full of curiosity looking at this bulging "little soil bag". Is this the blower that Lu Fengmei mentioned?

"It really works?"

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

Saying this, Equation ignited the wood in the furnace.

This blower has to be rubbed by a person, and rubbing the impeller inside the stick will send measured air into the furnace, making the flame inside burn more violently.

Lu Fengmei only had one hand, so she definitely couldn't move it anymore, so this task fell into Fang Fang's hands.

Fang Fang held the wooden stick with both hands and began to rub it back and forth.

Sure enough, every time it was rubbed, wind was sent into the furnace, and the flames inside would churn violently.

Seeing this scene, Fang Fang and Lu Fengmei were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves, and hugged each other excitedly.

Song Zhixi and the natives who were knocking stones were also attracted by the things on the furnace side.

Fang Fang shouted happily at Song Zhixi, "Come on, bring all the green copper, we will start copper smelting soon."

Song Zhixi was also very excited, this was the first time she witnessed the copper smelting process with her own eyes, and immediately nervously brought the collected green copper to the front of the furnace, and poured it all in from the mouth of the furnace.

After all the green copper was poured in, Fang Fang started his hand blower.

Every time it is rubbed, violent green flames burst out from the mouth of the furnace, and the natives who saw the green flames for the first time were amazed.

Lu Fengmei cheered hard for Fang Fang.

Not long after, the equation was sweating all over his forehead, and his arms were sore and swollen from exhaustion.

"No, I have to take a break."

Fang Fang let go of the wooden stick, and replaced another native to go up and continue turning.

Fortunately, there were so many people, and everyone took turns to work on it. Basically, the blower never stopped.

Thanks to this, the flames in the furnace burned fiercely, the temperature rose even higher, and the efficiency of smelting copper ore was greatly improved.

The blower is still running here, and molten copper has already seeped out from the bottom of the furnace.

"Come out, come out!"

Lu Fengmei at the side excitedly pulled out the cinders from the bottom of those furnaces with a wooden stick.

The cold water that had been prepared earlier was poured on it, and there was a burst of white air immediately. The copper water solidified and hardened when it encountered cold water, turning into lumps of black lacquered copper lumps.

Regardless of the fact that the copper pieces were still hot, Lu Fengmei hastily picked them up.

At the same time, Lu Fengmei is still asking people to pour green copper ore and wood into the furnace. The advantage of this is that you don't have to wait until the fire goes out to burn it again. As long as you keep the fire burning, you can continue to smelt copper.

From the moment the fire is lit until the sun is about to set.

They harvested quite a lot on this day, and the smelted copper blocks filled a whole basket.

Because it was getting late and it was no longer possible to go back and forth between the two islands, Blake took the people back to the shore, and the boat was moved to the woods, and it will continue until tomorrow.

The flames in the furnace were gradually extinguished, and Fang Fang returned with a full load. Today's progress is much faster than he expected. At this speed, it won't take long for the island to be replaced with bronze wares on a large scale.

On the way back, Fang Fang looked at Lu Fengmei half-jokingly, "Old Lu, your blower is good, but it's just too tired, can you think of a way?"

Lu Fengmei agreed, nodded and said: "Okay, I will think about how to improve it tonight."
